Splice Partners with Avid to Bring Sample Library Integration to Pro Tools

Splice, the world’s largest royalty-free sample library, has announced a new integration with Avid’s Pro Tools.

What it means:

• The integration was announced as part of the release of Pro Tools’ 2025.6 update.

• With Splice now built directly into Pro Tools, millions of loops, FX and one-shots are readily available to music creators without having to leave Pro Tools.

• As per Avid’s press release, creators can drag audio clips from the Pro Tools timeline directly into Splice’s AI-powered “Search with Sound” panel to match samples by rhythm, key and tempo, eliminating app switching and guesswork.

• Users can preview the samples and then drag them back into their session.

• Pro Tools users can access around 2,500 samples for free, with the remainder available through a monthly subscription.

Other updates:

• Pro Tools 2025.6 introduces a Speech-to-Text AI engine, meaning editors can search any audio file in a session for speech/lyric information to find specific vocal takes and speed navigation.

• It also offers an expanded ARA ecosystem to streamline vocal production, more tightly integrated ADR and reconform workflows, and a new in-app dashboard.

Availability:

• Pro Tools 2025.6 will be available to all Pro Tools Artist, Studio, and Ultimate subscribers, as well as perpetual license holders on an active support plan.

What they said:

• Kenna Hilburn, SVP, Product at Avid: “Whether producers and artists are sketching out ideas, building out tracks, or applying final touches, Pro Tools’ Splice integration provides a more powerful environment for creating music – giving users the ability to quickly find the perfect sound while staying in their creative flow.”
